Praise
Praise for Thomas McGuane and Gallatin Canyon:
“Tremendous. . . . [McGuane] evokes characters so vivid and universally pained that they’ll keep you up at night.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Astonishing. . . . [McGuane] knows something about writing, real writing—which is to say, words as access to the soul. . . . McGuane has driven so hard into the heart of a received wisdom concerning American manhood . . . that he has broken through to the other side.” —The New York Times Book Review
“McGuane is a master. . . . To see the world through the eyes of his characters . . . is to feel unsettled, precarious, and yet certain . . . of one thing: change. . . . [He] turns each story into a kind of pressure cooker.” —Los Angeles Times
